Marco, all my excuses if you felt my message suggested I was pointing in
your direction. I wasn't. I'm a little surprised by you taking this
personnally since most of the patches I personnaly submitted and that you
dealt with where comitted quickly. And, you don't have to believe me, but I
did notice your great efforts last weeks working and catching up on older
and new issues. 
What did trigger my reaction are examples like this:
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=19902 a patch contributed recently to
implement ODBC transactions while this patch
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=14944 was submitted in 2009 for the
same but never committed.
